Q: You wrote that you drove the Wienermobile once.
A: My aunt was a secretary at the Oscar Mayer headquarters in Madison and helped me get an internship there. I got to drive it once for a promotional event from one Cub Foods store to another. Somehow the story became that I was the Wienermobile driver, which is a whole summer job. I call this “getting Wienermobiled.”

Oscar Mayer Wiener in Wisconsin will be no more. Oscar Mayer is owned by Kraft-Heinz and it is closing the 96 year old Wisconsin plant and its corporate office in Madison with the loss of over 700 plant and 300 corporate jobs. (250 of the corporate jobs can go to Chicago). Davenport Iowa will have the new Oscar Mayer plant whereby some of the 700 employees can transfer. The move was engineered by Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway and 3 G Capital Investment out of Brazil after Oscar Mayer was bought up in 2015.
Funny is it not that Oscar Mayer will be gone from Wisconsin and hopefully Paul Ryan too.
But the rest of us do not have to worry as Paul Ryan will land on his feet in some lobbying firm like Cantor did. The irony is that the politicians never leave Washington DC and they leave their mark for years after in the lobbyists camp.
I TRULY HOPE AND RYAN IS VOTED OUT.
Amazing. According to Ryan, he didn’t even hold that job for much time. In addition to that, he only got that job as an “insider” favor.
